"Shuo Mao and Orochimaru?"

In the face of Kakashi's question, Jiraiya slowly said what he knew.

Shuo Mao is older and became famous earlier.

Orochimaru and Sakumo had known each other since they were young.

Later, they also went on many missions together.

When Orochimaru was not yet growing, Shuo Mao had saved him many times.

The two had a good relationship, but later seemed to have broken contact.

This is the answer Kakashi received from Jiraiya.

It's not detailed, but for Kakashi, it's enough.

With his father's character, if he can write that sentence, he will know where the righteousness lies.

It's a pity that Kakashi hasn't had a deep conversation with Orochimaru.

Most of the two met in a hurry, and they often faced each other with life and death.

The entanglement in it is really not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Maybe it's a continuation.

"By the way, what are you asking all this for?" Jiraiya was curious.

Kakashi smiled and pulled out the photo.

Jiraiya looked at the photo and couldn't help but fall into a kind of whirlpool called memory.

At this time, there seems to be no other way than emotion.

Kakashi left.

Knowing Shuo Mao's past, for him, is just a way to commemorate.

Life is still peaceful.

Both the ninja world and Konoha are developing peacefully.

A variety of technologies are also being developed.

It's not that there is no technology in this world, it's just that development is slow because of war.

Moreover, the tech tree has always been crooked.

Under Kakashi's vigorous promotion, new technologies began to spread slowly.

Fast forward two years.

Naruto cut off his hair, turned his head flat, and became a tough man.

Sasuke grew bangs, covered his left eye, and joined the army that killed Matt.

Hinata and Sakura are also getting more and more aggressive.

After all, they're all pretty much developed.

Qimu family house.

On a rare vacation, Kakashi sat in front of his own courtyard, quietly flipping through books.

The breeze blows the silver-white hair.

Terumi held the tea tray and quietly walked over to Kakashi's side.

Unlike before, there is a purple diamond-shaped mark on Terumi's forehead.

But he looks younger than he did two years ago.

"What are you looking at?" Terumi said curiously.

"Nothing, just a travelogue."

Kakashi said with a smile, then closed the book, set it aside, and picked up the tea that Terumi had brought him.

"Travelogue?"

Terumi was a little curious when she heard this, and looked at the cover of the book.

"Ninja World Travels?"

Terumi said softly.

"Well, there are a lot of interesting things about the ninja world in this book, as well as some strange places. I also traveled in the ninja world back then, but it was not for a long time, and I didn't go to many places. Now that he is the Hokage, he naturally can't move around at will. So I can only read books, and I have a dry time. Kakashi laughed.

"If you want, we can go and see together when you retire in the future." Terumi covered her mouth and smiled.

"There will be a chance. Naruto has gradually matured, restrained his former stupidity, and with a little more training, he will be able to take on the position of Hokage. Kakashi said softly.

"Naruto?" Terumi said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Terumi seemed to have something to say, Kakashi asked directly.

"Kakashi, to be honest, I don't think Naruto is suitable for the position of Hokage. Although Naruto is wise and foolish, many things are still a little rash. It's not something that can be changed by grinding. He has this spirit in his backbone. ”

Hearing this, Kakashi put down his teacup, stood up, and said softly, "I naturally understand this. Naruto is sometimes pushy, but he's not a man who doesn't listen to people. As a Hokage, sometimes it is more important to be open-minded. In terms of wisdom, with the help of Shikamaru, there will be no big problems. In terms of decision-making, with Sasuke's help, there will be no mistakes. ”

"So what is Naruto's role? Was it just because it was his dream? Terumi was puzzled.

Kakashi shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not. Because Naruto has a magical influence. As long as you get along with him, it's easy to be infected by him and treat him as someone you can trust, so you must have felt that, right? ”

"This ...... Quite really. ”

Terumi also had to admit this, that yellow-haired boy did have such magical powers.

"That's enough. This is the charisma of personality, something that many people of great wisdom do not necessarily have. And the most Hokage, this is very important. With such a personality charm, you will be loved by the villagers. ”

"I see, from the perspective of the villagers?" It seems to have come to an understanding.

"Yes, if the Hokage wants to sit comfortably and for a long time, the love of the villagers is very important. Konoha is different from the fog, the fog was in the blood fog at the beginning, and what was needed was absolute force to remove obstacles, and the wise Mizukage needed to make the next development plan. But Konoha is in peace, and all developments tend to be perfect. What it needs is not a pioneer master, but a king of success. ”

Now, Kakashi has already planned the direction of Konoha development, and he can continue to follow this direction for the next fifty years, or even a hundred years.

So, the next Hokage just needs to go in this direction.

And out of adoration and respect for Kakashi, Naruto will unswervingly go in this direction.

This was also a big reason why Kakashi chose Naruto.

"You've thought it through." Terumi smiled.

"It can't be helped, it's not easy to get to this point, and if you want to create an ideal world, you have to take these things into account." Kakashi laughed.

"Good work, husband."

Terumi looked at Kakashi with tenderness.

Kakashi suddenly sighed and said, "It's just that for Naruto, the matter of becoming a Hokage is actually a bit cruel. ”

"Cruel?" Terumi was puzzled.

"Well, among my five disciples, Naruto's background is actually the most bumpy, but he is also the most naïve. In the process of becoming the Hokage, he will inevitably shatter all of his naïve worldview. In other words, he had to mature. ”

Kakashi said, looking at the cherry blossom trees not far away, and muttered, "And the price of ripening is very high a lot of the time. ”

Kakashi could almost foresee that Naruto, who became the Hokage, was afraid that he would rarely show that kind of silly smile again.

If he could, Kakashi hoped Naruto would never be like that.

It's just that living in this world, who can be innocent forever?

"Kakashi ......"

Terumi looked at Kakashi's appearance and felt a little distressed.

The right hand gently held his right hand, as if she wanted to share her warmth with the man she loved.
